universal indicator pane

[Hthierry]

hi ,
I would like to know the details of handling universal indicator pane.
Is it managed by applications ? API's used etc....

Welcome to the forum, and sorry to say, but AFAIK there are currently no public APIs for handling this pane.

Hi,
Just to add to yucca's comments..
this is what i read in one of the books.

Currently, there is no way for third-party developers to add their
own controls. The class used is CAknSmallIndicator; it does not
have a public API but contains a notice/promise of the upcoming
feature to add one’s own indicators.

The system application handles the small indicator by creating one
with the wanted indicator ID as parameter:
iEnvelopeInd = CAknSmallIndicator::NewL(KAknSmallIndicatorEnvelopeUid);

The indicator’s state is changed by calling:
iEnvelopeInd->SetIndicatorState(EAknIndicatorStateOn);
The possible indicator states are EAknIndicatorStateOff,
EAknIndicatorStateOn, and EAknIndicatorStateAnimate.

After use, it is deleted.

hope that information was usefull to you!!

Is there any way to add an icon/image to the main pane?
In my application I need to give a notification to the user on the main pane of the mobile( on the main screen of the mobile)

As you can see, it is not supported. The closest thing you can do is discussed in http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...ad.php?t=99603
